Preterm birth

Preterm birth, also known as premature birth, refers to the delivery of a baby before 37 weeks of gestation, with classifications ranging from extreme preterm (less than 28 weeks) to late preterm (34-36 weeks). Premature infants, or preemies, face increased risks for conditions such as cerebral palsy, developmental delays, hearing and vision problems, with risks escalating the earlier the birth occurs.
